Hi Charles/all
I know compost by itself can solve a multitude of conditions, but do you ever use lime? I can’t find any mention of it either on the website or in your latest book. I grow veg on the west coast of Scotland, we have generally very wet and acid soil. The garden here has been dug and spread with raw manure every year at all times of year for a long long time (before I got here!) but not limed as far as I know. Do you think it needs some, and what’s the best way/time to apply it?
JaneHi Jane
do a ph test, if it is low then add lime. Using compost acts as a buffer so that plants can survive a lower ph.
